GLOBAL WARNING BY KERBY ROSANES

Posted on 2020-12-28

The ice is getting thinner and the lonely polar bear is left to fend for himself.

Standing 8″ tall, this thought-provoking piece is our first collaboration with artist Kerby Rosanes. Made from polystone, the layers of the piece are achieved through a double casting method whereby the opaque skull and bear are casted within the ice.

Each purchase comes with an autographed limited art print.

This will ship in June 2021

CAJUN DOCUMENT: ACADIANA, 1973-74

Posted on 2020-12-28

In 1973 and ’74, two Chicago photographers spent more than six months documenting the southern Louisiana region known as Acadiana, as well as its coastal outposts to the east. The exhibition Cajun Document: Acadiana 1973–74, featuring images by Douglas Baz and Charles H. Traub never before gathered as a comprehensive exhibition, visits Louisiana towns from Welsh to Erath, Mamou to Golden Meadow, capturing everyday life in living rooms and dance halls, on fishing boats, and at rural Mardi Gras festivities, as well as a sweeping view of the region’s industries and geography. The scenes Baz and Traub preserved comprise a relic of a time and place integral to the Louisiana story.

Opposite – Breaux Bridge Crawfish Festival, Breaux Bridge; 1974

GARY BEEBER – SYLVESTER MANOR

Posted on 2020-12-28

When living in Sag Harbor, NY one of my great pleasures was taking the 10 minute ferry trip to Shelter Island (whose sleepy beauty starkly contrasts with the glitz and glamor of the Hamptons) and exploring/documenting Sylvester Manor. The island was originally inhabited by indigenous peoples, but was officially established as a slave holding provisioning plantation in 1652 by Nathaniel Sylvester, a sugar merchant from Barbados, who purchased the entire island for 1600 pounds of sugar.

Sylvester Manor has been in the Sylvester family for 11 generations. Descendants of Nathaniel Sylvester used slaves to work the plantation until early in the 19th century when slavery was abolished in the north. Sylvester Manor is almost 368 years old. What will this historic property be like in 50 or 100 years?
